Came by today again to get my weekly mango sago and brown sugar. 100% perfect. Watched them make my drink and they but a heap full for mangos and the inside of the store was filled with mangos lol. Sweetness is perfect and they always give me extra brown sugar syrup on the side. Thank you! read more

Visited GangnamCha at Ala Moana to try their fruit drinks and desserts. This spot is a walk-up counter only with no seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go situation rather than a place to hang out. I ordered the mango sago, which was honestly underwhelming. The mango flavor tasted either artificial or extremely diluted. The color was very pale--I could barely see that signature yellow/orange mango hue--and the mango flavor itself was almost nonexistent. The coconut base and sago pearls were fine and pretty standard, but nothing memorable or exciting enough to make me want to order it again. My husband got the fresh watermelon smoothie. You could tell the watermelon itself was fresh, which we appreciated, but the drink was very watered down due to too much ice. After just one gulp, it felt like it turned into mostly ice with very little juice left. He did like that it came standard with coconut jelly, which added a nice texture and sweetness. Overall, the drinks were okay but lacked strong, fresh fruit flavor, especially for the price and expectations. If they reduced the ice and intensified the fruit base, these drinks could be much better. Probably wouldn't rush back, but could be a quick stop if you're already at Ala Moana and craving something light and cold. read more

Refreshing and so good! Stopped by Gangnamcha while walking around the mall and it's a cute takeout window, perfect for grabbing a drink while you shop or after a poke grab. I got the Taro Rice Yogurt Smoothie and it was so refreshing and delicious! It's my first time to taste something with rice. My friends tried different drinks, and they loved theirs too. Everything was creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet. Super friendly service and quick, too. Definitely coming back next time I'm here! read more

GangnamCha - Taro rice yogurt - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The best strawberry sago drink at half sweet! I keep coming back ever since I first tried it. Refreshing and not sweet. You can taste the fresh strawberry flavor and the sago gives a level of yummy texture to your drink. Update: Sago is a gluten-free, grain-free starch that can be used in baking, mixed with water, or added to desserts. But it has very little protein and few vitamins and minerals. Sago is a type of starch extracted from tropical palms like Metroxylon sagu. Shout out to Yelp buddy Tess M. for inquiring about Sago. In our warm and sometimes humid island weather, Gangnam Cha is a cool place to stop by for a delicious and refreshing drink. Halloween decorations are up now. Quick and fast service here. The watermelon drink is also very juicy and refreshing! This location is clean and brightly lit. Menu boards are easy to read. A printed out menu is also available at the register. Gangnam cha is located on the street level. Next to Yoajung. Makai side. Food: 4/5 stars Service: 4/5 stars Ambiance: 4/5 stars read more

Not too sweet - finally! Friendly and quick service. I ordered the mango purple rice yogurt and my friend had the lychee purple rice yogurt. Both drinks were smooth and not too sweet - just how I like it. The purple rice was okay, but I preferred the mango flavor overall - much better in my opinion. Pricing is very reasonable for the size compared to other places. I'll definitely be back to try the milk tea next time! read more

I've been to GangnamCha twice since it opened in the past year. It's located outside the food court, find Jollibee, go outside and take a left and there it is. I went for the Mango sticky rice drink which became popular over the summer here following the viral down to earth version. I've had 3 mango sticky rice smoothies and GangnamCha is my 2nd favorite with MangoMango being number 1 and DTE #3. This is my second time getting the mango sticky rice and the version I had in the summer was way better I'm not sure if it's because mango is out of season now (not sure if they do fresh or frozen) but I found today's a little more bland/icy compared to the summer which had a nice kick to it. The rice was also not as fresh tasting this time around. The summer version was a 5/5 but today was more a 3/5. I wish I would've got the November taro sticky rice special instead or their strawberry. I will still come back and try again to try out the other options. The drink was ready in 2-3 minutes and the young woman at the register was sweet and friendly. There's no tables here so take it back inside the food court. read more

Great to see a bubble tea shop conveniently located outside of Makai market. The outside is clean and bright. Lotsa parking and prices are so good! Ordered strawberry smoothie, brown sugar milk tea with pudding and matcha milk tea. Service was good and the owners were very helpful and knowledgeable on all the menu items. They told us the matcha milk tea sugar levels could not be adjusted as they are premade. The strawberry smoothie came with pieces of fruit very thick and icy. The brown sugar milk tea was probably our favorite because of the pudding. The matcha tea was kinda grainy and okay...probably won't order again. Great to have another bubble tea option! read more

Located outside of the food court on the bottom level of Ala Moana, GangnamCha is a new-ish spot for rice yogurt, smoothies, and milk teas. It just has a counter you order at and you can see people making the drinks just past the counter. It seems pretty clean but can get a bit noisy with the cars passing by outside. There is also not really seating outside, besides a few benches, and so your best bet would probably be inside the food court. We got a matcha and a mango sago with boba. The matcha was sweet and tasted similar to the one from boba places like Sharetea. It did not taste super rich like it does from matcha places but this is not strictly a matcha place so it was not really expected. The mango sago was good, also sweet. A number of their top drinks are rice yogurt drinks so we would potentially try one of those next time! read more

Stopped by this spot at Ala Moana with a friend while shopping, and it was such a great find! We were looking for something refreshing, and this place totally delivered. I got the mango sago smoothie, and WOW--new favorite. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and a silky, satisfying texture. Super refreshing without being too heavy, and you can tell they use real fruit. My friend got the passion fruit sparkling water with coconut jelly, and she was obsessed! The coconut jelly added a fun, chewy texture that made it even better. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and the drinks were made fresh. Definitely adding this to our regular Ala Moana routine. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Takeout beverages only... in Honolulu Hawaii... Located on the ground level of Ala Moana Center is a Hot New Business called GangnamCha. It's situated between Yoajung and Poke & Box on the Makai (ocean) side of the mall. Service is efficient and friendly! I think their system flows well and is convenient because the window on the right is for ordering. The window on the left is for pick-up. Covered, shared parking is free and right in front of the shop. I appreciate it! I got the Lychee refresher with chewy coconut jelly. It was like a light, refreshing Lychee soda because of the carbonation. I also got the Mango iced tea. I liked the fruity flavor! It came with yummy coconut jelly! I'm ready to return and try the yogurt drinks! read more

A new boba place! In Ala Moana as well, taking over the spot of the late Yomie's Rice x Yogurt location. Cannot wait to check it out as this is right in my neighborhood instead of having to venture out all the wait to Kaimuki for purple rice yogurts! It's located in the back of the Makai Market where Curry House resides on Ala Moana Blvd side. There's free garage parking with ample stalls but could be very busy during rush hours and weekends. This shop is a takeout only shop with no sit down tables and chairs. They only had one size and one price which was a big 24oz cup. I got their Mango Rice Yogurt and had asked for it less sweet. It was definitely on the tartier side after asking for less sweet (my mistake there) but still very good. The purple rice was delicious - it was sweet, which helped with the tartness, and reminded me of in azuki red bean paste but still with a bite. This consistency is the perfect consistency that I loved in my drinks! The only small complaint I had was how the yogurt drink was created. It was blended, creating a slushy rather than a yogurt liquid drink. It was a bit too icy, and the mango flavor was hidden. However, once the drink melted, it tasted very good! Definitely will be back for more in the future! I would love to try their milk teas as well! read more

GangnamCha - Mango Rice Yogurt - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

One of the best hole in the walls at Ala Moana. It is located on the bottom floor of Ala Moana near/next to the poke box. The outside of the store front is clean, simple, and cute! When my mom and I arrived, we could see the menu as well as the most popular drinks. I can honestly say that helped me make my decision when ordering my drink. When ready, the register man was super friendly and took our order right away. The staff were fast making our drinks. I swear it took less than 5 minutes. We ordered: Mango Purple Rice Yogurt- 10/10. The mango was blended so smoothly and the purple rice was soft. A great combo! Taro Smoothie with Pudding- 100/10. It was by far one of my mom's favorite. The taro smoothie was creamy and had a strong taro flavor. The pudding was soft and added just a touch of sweetness to the overall drink. *Plus, there is only one size for all drinks- I can't complain it was worth the price* If you're ever at Ala Moana and want to try a new drink place, this is where you should visit :) read more

Nice Cha meet you... Congratulations on your first day (May 3rd) as I almost passed right by their quiet opening...literally. GangnamCha has taken over Yomie's spot right outside of Makai Market Food Court in fact their wall mount sign is still there but here they are woohoo! Offering some fresh sips ready for summer though they didn't have much of the fresh fruit teas that usually my preference though did have some Sparkling Water items sounds very refreshing. I decided on the Strawberry Rice Yogurt and let me tell you at $5.95 it was a huge cup that I really didn't expect and the gentleman is very humble and kind as he asked what I liked and my usual drink, you order at one window and pick up at the other...easy system. The drink was nice not too sweet and was very nice and refreshing on this hot day and can see that this will be a great option especially being right across from the beach and mall shopping is a great relief that's very much needed. Thank you! read more

I was going to be at the mall again, so I figured I'd stop by GangnamCha to try another yogurt drink flavor. I decided on their lychee and it was just meh. The lychee was super light and subtle... I wish the flavor was stronger because it was a good flavor, just too light. I was a bit disappointed at the first few sips. I think about half way through, it started growing on me a little. The other yogurt purple rice flavors they have are mango, taro, strawberry and original. I really loved the mango. I'm not a huge taro fan, but who knows, I might like it! So I think I'll try that one next time :) read more

I got to try GangnamCha in Ala Moana Shopping Center, by Makai Food Court the other day. The service is exceptional their offerings are solid. This location is new, and consequently very clean. Grab-and-go! I ordered the classic milk tea with boba, at half sweetness. The drink had a good tea flavor, the sweetness was perfect for me and the boba texture was satisfying. The boba is smaller than at other locations, but good nonetheless. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I would frequent for the customer service alone. Check out GangnamCha! read more

I am always on the hunt for some bubble tea and different flavors. My recent obsession has been mango sago and lo and behold - Gangnamcha was advertised to me on my social media. We went today to try it and it did not disappoint! The mango sago was yummy, sweet, and super refreshing. The shop is a little tucked away next to curry house and yoajung. The person who took my order was sweet and prompt. The location is a little hidden, but the drink was worth the search. Will be back! read more

I got the mango sago my first time and it was delicious so for my 2nd time I decided on the strawberry sago. I think I liked the mango one better. The strawberry one for some reason didn't have a very strong strawberry taste. My husband got the strawberry rice yogurt he said he liked it. The waiting area is kinda awkward because you're in the middle of the walk path so you either have to wait by the window or close to the road. Will be back to try the other drinks! read more

GangnamCha has been our new go-to for boba drinks. They don't have a huge menu, but the items they do have are pretty tasty. The most recent drink I tried was the strawberry smoothie. Super delicious! It wasn't overly sweet but you could really taste the strawberries. I've also had their brown sugar milk tea (yummy) and my son has tried their sago drinks (also yummy). Workers are friendly and service is always quick. read more

I've been here multiple times since they opened and it's my new favorite boba spot for slushy/smoothie type drinks. The mango sago is my favorite.

Highly recommend. Service is quick and kind. read more

Having worked at a boba place when I was in college, you could say I have a sense for what kind of ingredients boba places use: syrups, jams, fresh fruit, etc. GangnamCha is okay compared to many other offerings in alamoana + town. I got the Mango sago drink, which was good/not too sweet, however the blended mango part of the drink made the little sago balls cold and hard vs the chewy texture they should be when slurped. The mango also tasted a little artificial, definitely a more "dessert" drink. Maybe next time I'll try one of their yoghurt bevs instead :) read more

Was in the mood for something healthy and refreshing and found it! Got there as soon as they opened. They were friendly and answered all our inquiries. First time visiting and found out they are the former owners of Jejubing Dessert Cafe, which I'm quite fond of. I was already bias before I took my first sip. Not only did my drink look good, it was delish, not overly sweet, and was reasonably priced. I'm always in the mood for a good bargain! I'm happy to find a good new drink and a cool new place too! Having recently opened, give them a try. They might easily become your new dessert drink place. read more

I was hopeful based off the reviews that this would be better than Yomie's Rice x Yogurt, which it took over, but it wasn't. I asked for something less sweet and more tart, and they said they could make anything less sweet, so I ordered a Strawberry Yogurt Rice Drink. It was still so sweet, without a lot of yogurt taste, although I saw them put yogurt in, so I think it was just that the strawberry jam is quite sweet and then the purple rice comes in a sweet sticky sauce too. My biggest complaint is that it was super icy, like it was mostly made of ice, more like a chunky slushy than a yogurt drink. And all the purple rice was on the bottom and hard to mix in. I saved half for my son and he liked it, though, praising how sweet it was. So I guess it goes over better with small children or people who like their drinks more sweet. The shop looks very clean, so that's good, but since it's completely behind a glass window and the order windows are small, it felt a little cold. The service was polite but not friendly. And it's just a takeout window so nowhere to sit. For all those reasons, I will be sticking with Cow Cow's Tea! read more
